Untitled is a 1989 ink by Lawrence Weiner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a plain white background with two simple lines of text. The words "OPEN MIND" and "GESLOTEN CIRCUITS" are printed in bold yellow letters inside blue boxes. Above each box is a short, curved blue line like a bracket. The text is in English and German, which might hint at a connection between ideas and languages. The fabric looks slightly wrinkled, giving it a casual, everyday feel. Next, check out Lawrence Weiner to see how he used text in other works.
